    Gao Protest vs. Agency-Level Protest

    The United States government is the largest single purchaser of goods and services in the world. Even during times of economic hardship, the US continues to dump billions into the private sector. The federal procurement spending rate of growth has surpassed the rate of U.S. inflation every year, since 2000. With annual federal procurement budgets of more than $400 billion, it is no surprise that the competition for government contracts has increased tremendously. Consequently, more and more companies are trying to get a piece of the action. When these companies adhere to all of the required regulations and statutes, they expect their proposals to be evaluated and the contract awarded in a fair and unbiased manner (Nacke & Ralston 2011).…

    The difference is the two is the government has certain authority and rights that commercial enterprises do not have in my opinion. The government is not in the business in making a profit. There are certain price limits set by the government that can not be exceeded majority of the times when making purchases. In Federal Government contracting, specific regulatory authority is required for the Government's agent to enter into the contract, and that agent's bargaining authority is strictly controlled by statutes and regulations reflecting National policy choices and prudential limitations on the right of Federal employees to obligate Federal funds.…

    In this paper, I will reflect on the operation of contracts.

I have learned a lot from this course and I will use that to help write this paper. In the following paper I will discuss the oral or written contracts; I will discuss express or implied contracts, and will discuss formal or simple contracts. I will also discuss the impact of the contracts in a business and show the true propose of contracts. I will show what is needed in a contract to be legally enforceable.

    Sealed Bids vs. Competitive Proposals

    Sealed bidding, also known as Invitation for Bids (IFB), is used when the government believes an “award can be made to the lowest price offeror who is responsive and responsible and the government’s requirement is reasonably well defined in the form of drawings and specifications” (Murphy, 2009, p. 17). When an IFB is released on a government website, FedBizOpps, any contractor who wishes to submit a bid is allowed. Government cannot limit an IFB to only particular contractors as this solicitation is based on adequate price competition. This is an advantage to contractors who might be new or older contractors who are looking to expand their expertise. Also, contractors are only required to submit the ‘bottom-line’ cost of their bid on IFB solicitations. Contractors must responsive, not taking exception to any terms of the proposed contract in its entirety, and responsible, be able to perform the work and meeting all conditions stated in solicitation however; they are not required to submit cost detail or technical documents such as past performances, performance work statement, cost narratives, etc. with their bids. There are a few disadvantages with this method. Contractors are not able to change their bids once submitted. The government opens all sealed bids to the public at the appointed due date and time. Contractors are able to see every bid…

    Navy Contracting: A Case Study

    Understanding the FAR as a vendor will assist in avoiding costly mistakes. Government contracts, while similar to commercial contracts are unique because of the many provisions unique to the government. Provisions may include requirements for payments, scope of work, and the termination of any contracts. The relevant parts for small businesses include Part 19, Small Business Programs, and Part 52, which lists the standard terms and conditions contained in a government contract. There are many rewards as a government vendor such as access to the GSA schedule, recommendation to other agencies and continued government business in the form of repeat contracts. Multiple Award Schedules are often an overlooked benefit for contractors, while being on this schedule/contract does not guarantee award it does provide a vendor with better chances of award due to the visibility this Award Schedule provides. The FAR with its rules and guidelines will prepare all small businesses for any type of contracting, there just needs to be an initial understanding of what is expected.…

    Government Contracts

    “What is this class about,” I thought to myself when I first registered for the Intro to Acquisition and Contract Management Class. Once I attended the class, I quickly realized that Government contracting is a big deal, because this is how the Government procures their goods and services. The U.S. federal government is the leading consumer of goods and services in the world, awarding Billions in contracts every year. There are rules and regulations mandated by Congress that have to be followed when procuring goods and services for the government. The guiding authority used for the acquisition process is called the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). There are also supplemental regulations used depending on the Federal Agency. Two examples…

    The purpose of government contracting is to facilitate business transactions between different companies, big or small, with government agencies in order to meet the needs of the government. Contracting is the main way a government operates and public money is spent. Thus, contracts are the main channels for implementing public policy, which makes stopping and controlling corruption in procurement a determining factor in policy and project efficiency.…

    Browning And Johnson: Case: Cook V. Johnson

    Browning And Johnson: Case: Cook V. Johnson

    See Cook v. Johnson, 37 Wn.2d 19, 221 P.2d 525 (1950). A one-sided contract is one in which a guarantee is given in return for a demonstration or avoidance. Here, Browning gave Johnson a guarantee to pay $40,000 in return for Johnson's demonstration of surrendering the agreement of offer. Adequacy of consideration in one-sided contracts is talked about by Professor Williston in his treatise, Contracts § 102 (3d ed. 1957). There he demonstrates that the prerequisite of adequate consideration to bolster a guarantee is met by a hindrance brought about by the promisee (Johnson) or an advantage got by the promisor (Browning) at the solicitation of the promisor. "That impairment endured by the promisee at the promisor's solicitation and as the cost for the guarantee is adequate, however the promisor is not profited, is very much settled." Williston, supra. This has been the law in Washington for more than 50 years. Harris v. Johnson, 75 Wash. 291, 294, 134 Pac. 1048 (1913). The inquiry then turns into the way of a burden. Impediment is characterized by Williston as the surrendering of "something which quickly earlier thereto the promisee was advantaged to hold, or doing or avoiding accomplishing something which he was then favored not to do, or not to cease from doing." Williston, supra, § 102A. We have as of now had event to quote this definition with endorsement. Luther v. National Bank of Commerce, *149 2 Wn.2d 470, 483, 98 P.2d 667 (1940). We…
